ITC512 Networking Concepts 2 (8)

This subject is designed to provide students with experience in current and emerging networking technology. The subject provides students with the skills and practice needed to design, build and maintain small to medium-sized networks. The concepts covered in this subject enable students to develop skills related to advanced router configuration, LAN switching, VLANs, WAN technology and design. This subject is the second in a series of two subjects that closely follow the Cisco Networking Academy Program curriculum.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2019.

Where differences exist between the Handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.
